About Support and Privacy

What is “Supporting”?
Supporting a Thunderclap campaign is like signing a petition but with the added power of simultaneously sharing a message. You and every other supporter are standing up for an idea with the power of your voice.

How do I support?
Choose between your Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr account to grant Thunderclap permission to post a message on your behalf. That’s it! If the campaign reaches its support goal by the deadline, Thunderclap will automatically post your message and all other supporters' messages at the same time.

A note on privacy
When you log into Thunderclap using your Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr account, you’re allowing our platform to share a single message on your behalf. That’s all. We use the absolute minimum permissions possible to post a message on your behalf. The platforms we integrate with sometimes include additional permissions that we do not use and we will not post anything from your friends' accounts.

In June in Berlin, President Obama said, “So long as nuclear weapons exist, we are not truly safe.”

And that is why we are asking you to join over 20 national organizations to urge President Obama to join in multilateral negotiations to achieve the global elimination of nuclear weapons.

We must compel our government to take action now to eliminate nuclear weapons. It will only happen, if we maximize public pressure on the Obama administration.

Please take a look at the letter below outlining the immediate steps we urge the Obama administration to take. Between now and 2015 there are opportunities for the US to engage with countries around the world and the United Nations in multi-lateral negotiations to end nuclear weapons proliferation and reduce the stockpiles that stand in the way of a nuclear free world.

In a letter to the White House we said:

As representatives of national organizations working for the global elimination of nuclear weapons, we respectfully urge that you speak at the September 26, 2013 High-Level Meeting on Nuclear Disarmament at the United Nations and:

Reaffirm your determination expressed in Prague to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons and endorse UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s Five-Point Proposal on Nuclear Disarmament;

Announce your convening of a series of Nuclear Disarmament Summits beginning in 2014, if possible under UN auspices;

Support extending the General Assembly’s Open-Ended Working Group to develop proposals to take forward multilateral nuclear disarmament negotiations for the achievement and maintenance of a world without nuclear weapons;

• Announce that the United States will participate in the follow-on conference on the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons to take place in Mexico in early 2014.

President Obama – our country is counting on you to be bold in your second term actions and put your principles into practice. The time is right; the world is ready.

The Rev. Dr Martin Luther King Jr. called the struggle for civil rights in the US, “a long and bitter, but beautiful struggle for a new world.”

He could have been describing the 68-year journey of the Hibakusha, the survivors of the criminal bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who have made their lives a long and bitter, but beautiful struggle for a new world free of nuclear weapons.
